Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Could only imagin what that looks like in the fall man. What a beauty view.

Hoping one day I have a spot like that. Its a dream of mine

Hope you find that spot Colin, sure glad my dad kept this place til it became mine, I was 4 years old when he built the back section, I built on the front section when I was 14 - 15 years old.

I do too Jerry! Gonna take some patients. I dought I will ever have that so close to me like that is too you.

But hoping to find a good woodlot someday that I can make a great cottage/camp.

 

[Welder56]

Some great history in your family then Jerry. It makes it that much more special to have something in the family like that

The lot where my camp is now has had a camp on it since the early 1800`s, my great grandfather, grandfather, my dad and now I have that place, been in the family a while now.

There is nothing quite as nice as a cottage /cabin on a lake but its getting fairly expensive to find one now. Latest one sold on this lake for $70,000 just last week.

 

[Welder56]

Nice!! I love that lake.

That's really not a bad price. I would consider something for a price like that

Well worth it as the lots avaliable on that lake are very limited. There will be about 10 more lots come up for sale in the future and a cottage now n then when the owners get too old to go any more.

Not on a lake but on the ocean, but same as my camp......land has been in the family and inhabited since 1837.......was 103 acres.......now 1/4 acre with 168' shore front.....rest is National Park......when rebuilding the back bedroom of my camp found writings/names/dates and a gaff rig sail plan plotted and drawn out on the boards......earliest date was Feb 12 1892....I am merely the current steward...

From what I have heard and gathered from my folks and others our camp lot was a very early one, setup for moose hunting and the supply.main line camp for a fairly extensive trap line. Of course a very good spot for stocking up on trout and salmon as well. Three previous log camps stood there until each one rotted down and another was built beside it, was a ton of old logs n junk to get rid of before we built the current camp. I was 4 going on 5 when this one got built so its history only goes back as far as I can remember, still many good trips and times spent there over the years, hope a few more before I go under sod.

My camp started as just a shack built on edge of the harbor on an old sailing vessel's hatch/hold cover for the floor , 7' x 14'...no joists needed LOL, sometime before 1892...no idea when exactly......the next two thirds of it was built onto the existing shack by my great uncle in the late forties.......my great uncle wasn't much of a carpenter. There is nothing left of the original part except the footprint and the boards I found with the writings and sail plan on .....they are framed and displayed on the living room walls....the original part has been totally replaced, insulated and finished out....it's the bedroom...being that close to the ocean it's nice to have the soundproofing sometimes.....like at high tide, 2;30 in the morning in a westerly blow!!! It used to be very loud......hardly noticeable now.....

 

[pioneerguy600]

Insulation helps, the ocean can be very noisy but most times I like to hear the hiss of the gravel beach.

 

[Cantdog]

LOL....I got no gravel......smallest grain is 'bout the size of a softball and just gets bigger with ledge sticking up here and there....."Rockbound" it is....

Rock bound it may be, but so long as the fish are biting its all good.

Great pictures Lad....

Great pictures Lad....

Really great pictures, how much tide do you have there

 

[pioneerguy600]

On the Atlantic coast here we get 6' vertical rise, only approximate as the position of the moon affects out tides and there can easily be a 2' fluctuation not counting storm surges.

 

[pioneerguy600]

Robin,...I bet there is gravel around there somewhere, the ocean has its ways of reducing big stone to smaller bits. A place I stay on the coast is next to a steep gravel beach, just the normal sea swell will tattle the gravel/beach stones really loudly. Out on the island the shore is all sand,the swell n waves there just make a lovely swishing sound, beautiful sound for sleeping. At my camp two rivers make a beautiful rushing sound as water tumbles over the rock bottom,

 

[pioneerguy600]

Closest river to me, makes a nice roar when the water is high,

 

[Welder56]

You guys have some nice spots!!

Still working on my 254 LOL hope the new clutch spring does the trick. Knowing my luck with it the carb needs a better clean (Ie getting boiled in lemon juice and water)

But think I'm on the home stretch. I'll take a pic of the bucket I'm hard facing. Got artistic on it hahaha

Really great pictures, how much tide do you have there

Tides here run about 9-13 feet depending on the moon........but you go northeast 50-60 n/mile into the Bay of fundy......50 foot tides up in the Minas Basin......
